As part of their initiative, myCovidMD® is offering drive through testing at pop-up community locations. Their first screening efforts took place Friday, April 3, 2020 in Culver City, CA in partnership with Blackbird House, a shared workspace for productivity, wellness and community.

In exchange for volunteering, community health partners are able to accumulate credits towards their student loans or deposit credits towards an Emergency Savings account. Shared Harvest founder, and Emergency Medicine Physician, Nana Afoh-Manin explains, “Through our student debt relief and emergency savings program, we are investing beyond the immediate crisis to help stimulate the economy and build a robust and culturally inclusive database of civilian skills-based volunteers that can be activated in case of future emergencies.”
